Centering ModalWindow during scroll?
Hi,
Is there a way to center a ModalWindow so that when a user scrolls the site with the navigator scrollbar, the ModalWindow stays centered while the site behind scrolls?
Thanks
Anthony

Ok well I think I'm going to abandon this for the meantime and just use an
indicator and a modal semi-transparent overlay over the site. I don't really
have the time to learn cross-browser javascript!

It's not a simple thing. A huge amount of time (both for
implementation and testing) went into the current modal window library
to make it work as cross-browser as possible. Unfortunately, I wasn't
aware of all the exotic use cases people want so the library is rather
monolithic. There is a rewrite on my to-do list that would split the
modal window into pieces (mask, basic window, style, etc.), but it's
not really a high priority.

It seems to be a rather tricky issue in terms of browser compatibilty. I
have been looking around for alternatives to ModalWindow and most of them
only have this working in FF (the small ones which don't involve a huge
library that is). Pity I'm not a JS expert...

No, currently there is not.
